A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!

Answer:

A. Angular momentum is always conserved.

Explanation:

When ice skater is spinning then during skating the ice skater have no external torque on his body.

So here we can say

\tau = \frac{dL}{dt}

net torque on a system is rate of change in angular momentum

so here we will have

0 = \frac{dL}{dt}

so we can say

L = constant

so if ice skater bring his arm closed then his angular momentum will remains conserved during this motion

A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb
77julia77 [94]
Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

\frac{9}{100}  = .09
change the decimal to a percentage:

.09 = 9\%
the light bulb had 9% efficiency

How do you find velocity when given 3 numbers
forsale [732]
In general, that's not possible, unless the three numbers relate to
very specific quantities. 

For example, if the three numbers are the object's height, temperature,
and cost, then they are of no help at finding the object's velocity.
